Isolation and Purification of Chromosomal DNA,Plasmid DNA,Bacteriophage DNA used in Recombinant DNA Technology or Biotechnology to produce Recombinant DNA or Desired DNA
This document outlines a method for isolating genomic DNA from plant shoot tissue. The method involves grinding plant tissue, suspending it in extraction buffer, incubating, extracting with chloroform, precipitating the DNA with isopropyl alcohol, and re-suspending the DNA in buffer. On the second day, the isolated plant DNA is compared by gel electrophoresis to DNA isolated from chloroplasts using restriction enzyme digestion. The method allows isolation of nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondrial DNA from plant cells. CTAB in the extraction buffer helps lyse cells and denature proteins while preserving DNA integrity for downstream applications.
DNA isolation is a process that purifies DNA from a sample using physical and chemical methods. It generally aims to separate DNA present in the cell nucleus from other cellular components for purposes like genetic analysis. The main steps of DNA isolation are: 1) preparing a cell extract by lysing cells and removing debris, 2) purifying DNA from contaminants using techniques like ethanol precipitation or phenol-chloroform extraction, 3) concentrating the DNA samples, often via ethanol precipitation, and 4) measuring DNA purity and concentration using UV spectrometry.
DNA can be isolated from cells through lysis and separation steps. Genomic DNA isolation involves lysing cells to release DNA, separating DNA from other cell components using phenol-chloroform extraction, and precipitating DNA with alcohol. Plasmid DNA isolation is similar but uses alkaline lysis to separate circular plasmid DNA from linear genomic DNA based on their ability to renature. DNA quantity and purity can be assessed using a spectrophotometer, with higher 260/280 ratios indicating purer DNA.
1. The document describes the process of extracting DNA from cheek cells to create a DNA necklace. DNA is tightly wound inside cell nuclei but can be separated from proteins and other molecules.
2. The procedure involves swishing a mouthwash to collect cheek cells, adding detergent to break open the cells, then adding alcohol which allows the DNA to separate out of solution and rise to the top of the test tube.
3. Using a pipette, students isolate the visible strands of DNA and transfer them to a pendant tube to create a necklace containing their own DNA. The goal is to learn how DNA is organized in cells and to isolate one's own genomic DNA.
Southern blotting is a technique used to detect specific DNA sequences in a DNA sample. It involves extracting DNA from cells, cutting the DNA into fragments using restriction enzymes, separating the fragments via gel electrophoresis, transferring the DNA fragments to a membrane, and using a labeled probe to detect fragments that are complementary to the probe through hybridization. Southern blotting is useful for identifying mutations, DNA fingerprinting, and detecting DNA in applications like prenatal screening and forensics. While effective for detecting specific DNA sequences, it is a complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive technique.
This document discusses nucleic acid probes and their use in hybridization experiments. It notes that probes are short sequences of nucleotides that bind to specific target sequences. The degree of homology between the probe and target determines how stable the hybridization is. Probes can range in size from 10 to over 10,000 nucleotide bases, with most common probes being 14 to 40 bases. Short probes hybridize quickly but have less specificity, while longer probes hybridize more stably. The document then describes different methods for labeling probes, including nick translation, primer extension, RNA polymerase transcription, end-labeling, and direct labeling. It also discusses factors that affect probe specificity and hybridization conditions.
This document discusses Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, which is a technique used to differentiate organisms by analyzing patterns in their DNA after digestion with restriction enzymes. RFLP analysis can be used for various applications like determining paternity, detecting mutations, and genetic mapping. The process involves digesting DNA with restriction enzymes, running the fragments on a gel, transferring the DNA to a membrane, and using probes to detect polymorphisms and produce an autoradiogram showing differences in fragment patterns. As an example, the document describes using PCR-RFLP to rapidly screen for a BRCA2 mutation by taking advantage of a restriction site change caused by the mutation.
DNA modifying enzymes play important roles in recombinant DNA technology. DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA from deoxyribonucleotides and is essential for DNA replication. It consists of subunits that carry out polymerase and exonuclease activities. Reverse transcriptase generates cDNA from an RNA template. Alkaline phosphatase, phosphatase, kinase and methyltransferases modify DNA through addition or removal of phosphate groups or methyl groups and are used in cloning experiments and DNA sequencing. Terminal transferase adds nucleotides to DNA ends. Restriction enzymes are inhibited by DNA methylation.
This document discusses molecular probes, including their definition, types, preparation, and labeling. It describes the three main types of probes - oligonucleotide probes, DNA probes, and RNA probes. It explains how to prepare probes from genomic DNA, cDNA, synthetic oligonucleotides, and RNA. Methods of radioactive labeling including nick translation and oligonucleotide labeling are covered. Non-radioactive labeling using biotin and digoxigenin is also discussed. Finally, applications of molecular probes in identification of recombinant clones, fingerprinting, in situ hybridization, and medical research are summarized.
It is common for students to use kits without knowing exactly what the different solutions/buffers are doing or what are they composed of. This automate attitude is wrong, thus, a proper discussion over the ins and outs of DNA extraction kits is imperative.

1. Eukaryotic DNA contains repetitive and non-repetitive segments. Repetitive DNA makes up around 50% of the human genome and consists of sequences that are present in copies numbering over a million.
2. Repetitive DNA is divided into highly, moderately, and uniquely repetitive sequences based on copy number. Highly repetitive sequences are present in over 100,000 copies and include satellite and centromeric DNA. Moderately repetitive sequences have between 100-10,000 copies, like ribosomal RNA genes.
3. Non-repetitive or unique sequences make up around 50% of the human genome and contain protein-coding genes and other sequences required for gene expression that generally exist in only
The genetic material must produce a large number of copies of itself during the life cycle of an organism. The process by which a DNA molecule makes its identical copies is called DNA replication. The DNA molecule that undergoes replication may be termed as ‘parent molecule or template molecule, while the two molecules produced by replication may be called progeny molecules or daughter molecules.

2. The plasmid DNA was isolated using a modified alkaline lysis method. Samples of the isolated plasmid DNA were run on a gel electrophoresis along with a ladder for comparison but the ladder showed an unusual single band.
3. While single bands were observed for the plasmid DNA samples, the abnormal ladder prevented further analysis of the isolated plasmid DNA.
The document discusses various DNA extraction methods from biological samples. It describes organic extraction, non-organic extraction, Chelex extraction, and FTA paper methods. Organic extraction uses phenol-chloroform to remove proteins and isolate DNA, while non-organic extraction uses high salt concentrations. Chelex extraction uses an ion exchange resin to remove ions that degrade DNA. FTA paper allows samples to be stored at room temperature. The minimum DNA quantities needed for different techniques is also discussed.

CTAB is used in DNA extraction to simultaneously solubilize plant cell walls and membranes while denaturing proteins. This prevents DNA degradation during isolation and yields highly intact genomic DNA. Chloroform helps separate proteins and polysaccharides from nucleic acids by binding them, allowing DNA to be isolated in the upper aqueous phase. Isopropanol precipitates DNA from large solution volumes at room temperature to avoid coprecipitating other molecules. Chilled ethanol causes DNA to precipitate out of solution, allowing it to be purified for genetic testing. Deionized water is used to dissolve and store extracted DNA for subsequent experiments.
This document provides a history and overview of animal cell culture techniques. It discusses the development of cell culture media and reagents used to support cell growth in vitro. It also describes different techniques for culturing mammalian cells, tissues, and organs, including organ culture, explant culture, and cell culture. The goal of animal cell culture is to maintain cells, tissues, or organs outside of their natural environment for research purposes.
Restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific recognition sites. Restriction mapping involves digesting an unknown DNA segment with restriction enzymes and analyzing the fragment sizes to determine the locations of restriction sites. One method involves single and double digestions with two enzymes followed by gel electrophoresis to separate the fragments by size. By comparing the fragment patterns between single and double digestions, the positions of each restriction site can be mapped, generating a restriction map of the DNA segment. Restriction mapping was previously important for characterizing cloned DNA but is now easier using DNA sequencing, though analysis of restriction sites remains useful for comparing chromosomal organization between strains.

DNA sequencing and cloning techniques are used to determine DNA sequences and make copies of DNA fragments. There are two main DNA sequencing methods - Sanger sequencing and next generation sequencing. Sanger sequencing involves separating DNA strands, replicating them with ddNTPs to stop replication, and using gel electrophoresis to determine the sequence. Next generation sequencing is faster. DNA cloning makes identical copies of a DNA fragment by inserting it into a vector like a plasmid and introducing it into a host cell. Key tools in cloning are restriction enzymes, which cut DNA at specific sites, and ligase, which joins DNA strands. PCR is used to amplify specific DNA regions and is important for applications like DNA sequencing, genetic testing, forensics, and research

- General feeding practices for native pigs include feeding a combination of concentrate and forage twice daily. Feeding practices vary based on life stage from sows and boars getting 1-1.5kg of mixed feed and supplements, to suckling piglets getting ad-libitum starter mash and supplements, to weaners getting 0.3-1kg of mixed feed and supplements.
- Sample mixed feeds for native pigs contain ingredients like rice bran, corn, copra, and molasses. Establishing forage production areas can help minimize feed

Benefits and Market Potential of Native Pig Lechon Processing and MarketingPerez Eric
Lechon, or roasted pig, is a Filipino delicacy traditionally made with native Philippine pigs. The document discusses lechon production in La Loma, Philippines, which is considered the lechon capital. Ping Ping Native Lechon & Restaurant is one of the established brands in La Loma that uses 100% native pigs for lechon. While there is steady demand, production is limited by the supply and high costs of quality native pigs. The lechon industry needs government support to address issues around native pig supply and transportation regulations.
Native Pig Trading and Lechon Processing and Marketing in CebuPerez Eric
Ms. Claire C. Silva owns Claire's Lechon de Cebu, which began in 1989 processing one pig per week and has since expanded to processing 10-15 pigs per week normally and up to 40 pigs on weekends during peak seasons. Native pigs from Negros and Bohol are used for their juicy and tasty meat. The pigs are slaughtered and seasoned in-house before being roasted over open wood charcoal. While lechon production has grown, challenges include fluctuating pig prices and quality as well as competition from other processors. Future plans include breeding their own pigs and expanding markets.

The FLS-GEM project trained over 2,500 goat farmers through 28-week courses focusing on improved feeding, breeding, health and waste management. This led to increases in productivity such as higher conception rates, shorter kidding intervals, and greater survival rates and kid weights. Farmers saw higher profits as a result, with income increasing by over 30% on average. The project had wide social impacts as well, with increased cooperation between farmers and new businesses developing around goat farming. The project was so successful that its training model was adopted as the national standard for goat production in the Philippines.
The document discusses an e-learning program on goat raising offered by the DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD). The program offers free online certificate courses on topics related to goat production. As of November 2017, over 2,100 students have graduated from the program, consisting of farmers, extension workers, businessmen, and overseas Filipino workers. Students can enroll by creating an account on the e-extension website and selecting from the available goat raising course modules.
The document discusses the Test-Interval Method (TIM), a common practice for measuring total milk yield (TMY) in small ruminants. TIM uses a formula that calculates TMY based on milk measurements taken at intervals after birth and between subsequent milkings. It originated as a way for farmers and organizations to evaluate goat performance and rank animals for selective breeding programs to improve genetics. TIM can be used on individual farms or in government programs.
This document discusses standards for slaughtering and cutting goats. It outlines proper procedures for transporting goats to slaughter, ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, and slaughter methods. Detailed cutting schemes for six prime cuts of chevon are also presented. Adopting these standards would help produce clean meat through proper hygiene, allow for higher carcass recovery, demand higher prices, and serve as a guideline for developing policies around goat slaughtering.
The document summarizes research on a herbal dewormer called MCM for goats. MCM is created from a mixture of three Philippine plants - makahiya, caimito, and makabuhay. Clinical trials showed MCM, administered as either a 500mg capsule or 500ul liquid twice at a 2 week interval, was effective at eliminating the parasitic roundworm Haemonchus contortus in goats. This led to increased health, milk and meat production in treated goats. The document provides details on the formulation, dosage, availability and pricing of the herbal MCM dewormer and encourages farmers to try and support this natural treatment option for healthier goats.
The use of probiotics and antibiotics in aquaculture production.pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing agriculture sectors in the world, providing food and nutritional security to millions of people. However, disease outbreaks are a constraint to aquaculture production, thereby affecting the socio-economic status of people in many countries. Due to intensive farming practices, infectious diseases are a major problem in finfish and shellfish aquaculture, causing heavy loss to farmers (Austin & Sharifuzzaman, 2022). For instance Bacterial fish diseases are responsible for a huge annual loss estimated at USD 6 billion in 2014, and this figure has increased to 9.58 in 2020 globally.
Disease control in the aquaculture industry has been achieved using various methods, including traditional means, synthetic chemicals and antibiotics. In the 1970s and 1980s oxolinic acid, oxytetracycline (OTC), furazolidone, potential sulphonamides (sulphadiazine and trimethoprim) and amoxicillin were the most commonly used antibiotics in fish farming (Amenyogbe et al., 2020). However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in disease control has led to selective pressure of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, a property that may be readily transferred to other bacteria (Bondad‐Reantaso et al., 2023a). Traditional methods are ineffective against controlling new disease in large aquaculture systems. Therefore, alternative methods need to be developed to maintain a healthy microbial environment in aquaculture systems, thereby maintaining the health of the cultured organisms.

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Lecture Objectives The participants will be able to
understand the principles of DNA and
RNA Isolation
The participants understand the basic
theoretical background of the PCR and
LAMP techniques
The participants are able to understand
these techniques and the usage of
reagents and chemicals incorporated in
the kits
TOPICS
1. Title: Principles of DNA Isolation/Extraction and PCR
2. DNA Location: DNA is located mainly in the nucleus, but can also be found in other cell
structures called mitochondria. Since the nucleus is so small, the DNA needs to be
tightly packaged into bundles known as chromosomes.
3. Principles of DNA isolation and purification
DNA/RNA can be isolated from animal cells, plant cells, bacteria, protozoa or viruses
DNA isolation is a process of purification of DNA from sample using a combination of
physical and chemical methods. Currently it is a routine procedure in molecular biology.
Good quality DNA is a prerequisite for all experiments of DNA manipulation. All DNA
extraction protocols comprise of the basic steps of disruption of cell membrane and
nuclear membrane to release the DNA into solution followed by precipitation of DNA
while ensuring removal of the contaminating biomolecules such as the proteins,
polysaccharides, lipids, phenols and other secondary metabolites.
4. Breaking the cell, layer by layer releases the cellular constituents.
Accomplished by lysis of the tissue or any sample and homogenizing in the extraction
buffer.
5. Components of Extraction/Lysis Buffer
Tris (Tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane) buffers the pH of the cells at 8.0.
EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) chelates the metal ions,cofactors for DNases;
weakens the cell membrane stability.
Sodium chloride helps in maintaining the osmoticum of the cells. High concentration
weakens the membrane integrity.
6. Components of Extraction/Lysis Buffer
Mercaptoethanol cleaves the disulphide bridges of proteins and helps in denaturation
proteins.
2. Proteinase K – degrade proteins at 56oC
SDS is a detergent, which also denatures the membrane proteins and disrupts the cell
membrane. SDS also helps in inhibition of nucleases.
7. PCI - The use of Phenol Chloroform-Isoamyl alcohol) is to remove the proteins, most
lipids, and cellular debris that can cause an impure DNA result.
8. DNA Precipitation:
DNA in the nucleoplasm is neutralized by Potassium acetate. K+
ions bind with negative
phosphate backbone of the DNA and shield them. Also, high concentration of NaCl. This
favors DNA precipitation from ethanol in cold condition.
DNA precipitate is settled down as a pellet by centrifugation, purified by 70 % ethanol
wash, hydrated in TE buffer.
9. RNA Isolation/Extraction
Take place in the presence of RNase inhibitory agents (typically strong denaturants like
guanidine salts-guanidine isothiocyanate (GITC), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), or
phenol-based compounds (e.g.Trizol)
It is typically prior to and after the isolation when RNA integrity is at highest risk.
10. You may have the option in choosing the procedure in extracting the DNA or RNA: Using
the commercial kit or the conventional method.
11. Things to remember in RNA Extraction
This can be problematic when tissues or cells are hard (e.g., bone, roots), when
workflows prevent processing immediately after collection (e.g., transport from a site of
collection to another location for processing), or when samples are numerous (making
rapid processing difficult).
12. Things to remember in RNA Extraction
RNA are easily degraded.
RNAses are mostly ubiquitous, there should be a designated area for RNA work.
RNA area usually uses DNAses and DNA area uses RNAses..

13. Questions
Principles of Polymerase Chain Reaction
Introduction
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique which is used to amplify the number of copies
of a specific region of DNA, in order to produce enough DNA to be adequately tested. This
technique can be used to identify with a very high-probability, disease-causing viruses and/or
bacteria, a deceased person, or a criminal suspect.
In order to use PCR, one must already know the exact sequences which flank (lie on either side
of) both ends of a given region of interest in DNA (may be a gene or any sequence). One
need not know the DNA sequence in-between. The building-block sequences (nucleotide
sequences) of many of the genes and flanking regions of genes of many different organisms are
known. We also know that the DNA of different organisms is different (while some genes may
be the same, or very similar among organisms, there will always be genes whose DNA
sequences differ among different organisms - otherwise, would be the same organism (e.g.,
same virus, same bacterium, an identical twin; therefore, by identifying the genes which are
different, and therefore unique, one can use this information to identify an organism.
3. Objectives: At the end of the lecture, the participants should be able to understand the
principles of PCR.
14. Title: Polymerase Chain Reaction
15. Definition of PCR
Developed by Kary Mullis in 1984, leading to the invention of the Thermocycler/Thermal
cycler
Thermal cycler is complex heatblock wherein different temperatures are set for in vitro
amplification or reproduction of target DNA
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR):
A molecular technique which can amplify a specific DNA region
Uses:
Yields millions of copies of the target region
Makes enough DNA for further molecular work
Or diagnosing or detecting the presence of certain pathogens
PCR performs the chemistry of DNA duplication in vitro
Numerous PCR applications make this process a staple in most biology laboratories
16. PCR Targets
The targets in PCR are the sequences of DNA on each end of the region of interest,
which can be a complete gene or small sequence. Crucial in primer or DNA marker
designing
17. Steps in PCR Amplification
18. Denaturation
Denaturing is the first step in PCR, in which
the DNA strands are separated by heating to
95°C to 97C.
19. Heating separates the double stranded DNA -Denaturation
Slow cooling anneals the two strands- Renaturation
20. Annealing
Annealing is the process of allowing two sequences of DNA to form hydrogen bonds.
The annealing of the target sequences and primers is done by cooling the DNA to about
28 to 65°C.
Two primers are supplied to bind to the complementary region
As the DNA cools, they wedge between two template strands
Optimal temperature varies based on primer length and melting temperature
Typical temperature from 28 to 65 C
21. Elongation/Extension
DNA polymerase duplicates DNA
Optimal temperature 72C
22. Summary of the Polymerase Chain Reaction
4. Separating the Target DNA - Denaturation
During the first step of PCR, called denaturation, the tube containing the sample DNA is
heated to more than 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit), which separates the
double-stranded DNA into two separate strands. The high temperature breaks the
relatively weak bonds between the nucleotides that form the DNA code.
Binding Primers to the DNA Sequence - Annealing
PCR does not copy the all of the DNA in the sample. It copies only a very specific
sequence of genetic code, targeted by the PCR primers. For example, PED has a
unique pattern of nucleotides specific to the bacteria. The PCR will copy only the specific
DNA sequences that are present in PED and absent from other bacterial species. To do
this, PCR uses primers, man-made oligonucleotides (short pieces of synthetic DNA) that
bind, or anneal, only to sequences on either side of the target DNA region.
Two primers are used in step two - one for each of the newly separated single DNA
strands. The primers bind to the beginning of the sequence that will be copied, marking
off the sequence for step three. During step two, the tube is cooled and primer binding
occurs between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius (104 – 140 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step two yields two separate strands of DNA, with sequences marked off by primers.
The two strands are ready to be copied.
3. Making a Copy - Extension
In the third phase of the reaction, called extension, the temperature is increased to
approximately 72 degrees Celsius. Beginning at the regions marked by the primers,
nucleotides in the solution are added to the annealed primers by the DNA polymerase to
create a new strand of DNA complementary to each of the single template strands.
After completing the extension, two identical copies of the original DNA have been
made.
After making two copies of the DNA through PCR, the cycle begins again, this time using
the new duplicated DNA. Each duplicate creates two new copies and after approximately
30 or 40 PCR cycles, more than one billion copies of the original DNA segment have
been made. Because the PCR process is automated, it can be completed in just a few
hours.In a healthcare setting, PCR makes enough copies of target DNA from the clinical
sample to allow analysis; the results of these diagnostic and monitoring tests
provide clinicians and other healthcare providers with information to guide treatment

Gel electrophoresis is a widely used technique for the analysis of nucleic acids
(Agarose gel electrophoresis)
Gel electrophoresis is a procedure that separates molecules on based on size through a
gel under the influence of an electrical field.
7. 29. DNA is negatively charged, therefore, when an electric current is applied to the gel, DNA
will migrate towards the positively charged electrode.
Shorter strands of DNA move more quickly through the gel than longer strands resulting
in the fragments being arranged in order of size.

Principles of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP)
Introduction
This is a one-step alternative DNA technique other than PCR in detecting various diseases that
caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa and many parasites. LAMP uses a single
temperature/isothermal incubation thereby it does not utilize expensive PCR machines and can
be performed simply with a heating block or water bath. Although the inception of LAMP refers
back to 1998, it became popular only after 2003 following the emergence of West Nile and
SARS viruses. Since then LAMP assay has increasingly been adapted by researchers mostly
from Japan for the clinical diagnosis of emerging diseases (Parida et al., 2008). Detection of the
culprit can be by photometry for turbidity caused by increasing quantity of Magnesium
pyrophosphate in solution or with addition of a DNA dye wherein a color change can be seen
using naked eye (Mori et al, 2001). In LAMP, the target DNA is amplified at a constant
temperature of 60 - 65 °C using either two or three sets of primers or DNA markers specific for
the target organism, microorganism or viruses which makes the detection more specific and a
polymerase, an enzyme for amplifying the target DNA.
Objectives:At the end of the lecture, the participants should be able to learn the principles of
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification or LAMP and its applications.
Subtopics:
1. Definition of LAMP
2. Advantages and Disadvantages of LAMP
3. Components of LAMP reaction
4. LAMP mechanism
36. What is Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP)?
Developed by Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan)
Uses 4-6 different primers designed to recognize distinct regions on the target gene. it
is expected to amplify the target sequence with high selectivity.
Reaction process proceeds at constant temperature (about 60°C- 65°C)
May be combined with a Reverse Transcription step to allow the detection of RNA
37. Advantages
1. Amplification of DNA takes place at an isothermal condition (63 to 65°C) with greater
efficiency.
2. Thermal denaturation of double stranded DNA is not required.
3. LAMP helps in specific amplification as it designs 4 to 6 primers to recognize distinct regions
on the target gene.
4. LAMP is cost effective as it does not require sophisticated equipment.
5. This technology can be used for the amplification of RNA templates in presence of reverse
transcriptase.
8. 6. LAMP assay takes less time for amplification and detection.
38. Disadvantages
1. Complicated primer design
2. Too sensitive and prone to contamination and small changes in conditions
